Friedel and Timmerman will once again be teammates on the football field. They played on the same SR division team in the BCPWFL.

 

That's cool.

Your question compares apples to oranges.

 

Colleges recruit and a player is more likely to change positions to go to a bigger, better school than a smaller one.

 

I can understand not wanting to transfer again, but I hardly think a player not good enough at one position at Ryle is going to go to Elder and expect to be the best at that same position....

 

My point is that there is probably more to the story than just not getting to play the position he wanted.

You hit the nail on the head

IMO him and his brother Dewey both wanted to go there for not just football situations, but also had to do with them playing baseball there. They both are pretty darn good baseball players also.

Congrats to Josh. I'm sure he's happy with his decision. He's a really good young man, and I know his parents Jack and Maryclare are very proud of him, as we all are.

Josh is very dedicated and will do well!!

His sophomore year, he shared the backfield with Connor Hempel, Travis Elliot, and Kiefer Eubank. I believe this was a very down year for Ryle, senior talent wise (especially the line) and he chose to leave. His family felt it was best to move to Elder for multiple reasons I imagine. You don't go from free public education to whatever Elder cost, for just football.

His sophomore year Josh played defense.

He would have been perfect in Eubanks role this past year.

 

Josh was the open field threat that Ryle desperately needed vs Trinity.

Yes he did. He also played offense. I believe they even ran a make-shift wildcat package with him.
